GENTLEMAN JIM.'* 



Scene. — Miss Sinclair's flat in. Fleur-de-lis Man- 
sions, Bloomsbiiry. Door c. There is a wriling-tabU 
R. C, and L. C. stands an arm-chair. There is a small 
table at the back, L. of doorway. 

Miss S. {discovered at table, R. c, reading from a 
MS.) " To leap from his luxurious coucli was the work 
of a moment, and seizing his revolver he rushed down- 
stairs ; nor did he quail when he found confronting him, 
with a sneer of derision on his lips, the baleful form ot 
Black Bill the Burglar." End of Chapter I. Excellent! 
— winding up with a situation — most essential in a "Shil- 
ling Shocker." Now for a fresh sheet, a deep dip of ink 
and— Chapter II. Let me see ! I must begin with a 
realistic description of Black Bill. Yes. Now, what 
would he be like ? What a pity it is that I have never 
met a real flesh and blood burglar. I think I should like 
to interview a burglar. What a splendid copy he would 
make ! " Black Bill, Esquire, at home at Seven Dials, or 
Worm Wood Scrubbs.'' Yes, but I shouldn't like him to 
interview me. And that's what generally happens, I 
fancy. Suppose a man did break into the house, should 
I have the nerve to attack him with a note book ? Poor 
papa used to say that the journalistic instinct was very 
strong in me. Would it be strong enough for that, I 
wonder ? Oh, no ! I'm sure not. Fancy ! A real blood- 
thirsty burglar with a mask, a dark lantern and all the 
other horrid things they carry. Ugh! (shudders. Look- 
itig over her shoulder and rising, showing some indica- 
tions of fear) I wish I hadn't let Martha go out to-night. 
It's very lonely here all by one's self, and a ground floor 
flat is dreadfully exposed. But no, I won't think about it. 
I'll go on with my story, {takes up pen and begins to

write, with an effort) "Chapter II." I must trust to my 
imagination for the description. " Blacic Bill was a man 
of massive l)uilcl, his eyes had a lurid, fiendish glare." 
{starts suddenly and screams) What's that ! Oh, how 
frightened I feel ! (rises) I'll never write a sensational 
story again except in daylight. (glances at her watch) 
Half-past nine, and Martha won't be home till ten o'clock. 
I daren't go on with it- — I shall get more frightened every 
minute. I know, — I'll read a little, and put this wretched 
burglar out of my head. Ah ! this evening's paper : that 
will do. The Police Reports, always most interesting ! 
{in arm-chair, L. c. Reads) " Capture of a weii known 
burglar. Singular career — um — um— and so on ; the 
prisoner is one of a gang which has for a long time in- 
fested Bloonisbur}- ' Bloomsbury, here ! Oh, I'm 

so glad they have caught him. " He is known by the 
name of ' Gentleman Jim,' because he usually conducts 
his nefarious operations in evening dress. His manners 
are said to be extremely pleasing, and it is reported that 
he is a gentleman by birth. However, in spite of this, 
his career has been marked by deeds of fiendish feroci- 
ty." Fiendish ferocity ! I am 7/er/ glad they've caught 
him ! " He was fully committed lor trial." And I hope 
he'll get penal servitude for life, {turns leaf of 7iews- 
paper. Reads) " Latest News. Remarkable Escape of 
a Prisoner. On the arrival at the House of Detention 
of the police van, it was discovered that the solitary 
occupant, a prisoner committed for trial to-day, had 
effected an escape by cutting a plank from the flooring 
of the van, and dropping into the roadway beneath." 
What a clever man ! What's this ! " It is understood 
that the escaped prisoner was none other than the no- 
torious burglar known by the soubriquet of ' Gentleman 
Jim.' " (starts up) Then he is at large again, and this 
is the neighborhood he infests ! Good Heavens ! Sup- 
pose he should take it into his head to break in here this 
evening ! There is not a soul in the whole of this dreary 
building but myself. No. 2 is at the seaside, {with in- 
creasing agitation) No. 3 and No. 4 are em.pty. No. 5 
I know is dining out, because I met him on the stairs in 
evening clothes ; and No. 6 never comes home till two in 
the morning, and then he is not in a condition to be of use 
to anyone. Oh, there's the dreadful Horse Dealer man^ 
Mr. Coper, who lives in the half flat opposite — he smells 



"GENTLEMAN JIM." 5 

dreadfully of spirits and stables, still he'd be better than 
nobody, {inoves to door theyi stops suddenly) But, no, 
how stupid I am ! he removed all his possessions in a fur- 
niture van this afternoon, and left word with Martha that 
it anyone inquired tor him she should say that he, Mr. 
Coper, had gone to the African Diamond Fields and would 
never feturn. There's no help for me. What shall I do ? 
{by this time, thoroughly frightened) I feel that ar.y 
moment I may hear a crash of glass and see that horrid 
"Gentleman Jim" enter in evening dress to murder me. 
1 wonder if I could bribe a policeman to come and sit 
with me till Martha comes back, but of course not, it's 
against the regulations, unless you're a cook or something 
of that sort. Let me see, is there any place particularly 
unsafe ? Ha ! that window at the top of the stairs, it's 
always open. I will go and shut it, (going towards door) 
and then come back and pile all the furniture against the 
door. Oh, how my knees tremble — shall I ever be able to 
walk there, I wonder ? (pauses at doorway and looks 
about for a weapo?i ; sees a paper-knife, on table, seizes 
it attd goes out. Slight pause) 

Enter Jack, in evening dress, with hat and overcoat. 

Jack, [pauses at doorway and knocks at open door) 
Mr. Coper, Mr. Coper ! Anyone at home ? Is Mr. Coper 
in ? Apparently not. Well, as there's nobody to do it 
for me, I'll announce myself. People who live in Hats 
seem very casual about their doors, {looks at note on pa- 
per) Ground floor. Fleur-de-lis Mansions. Oh, yes, it's 
all right ; this is where that scoundrel Coper lives, so I'll 
take off my coat, {does so, and places it 07i table, up L. c.) 
sit down, and wait till some one comes, {sits R. of table 
R.) I tipped the man at the stables to give me his private 
address — I never could catch him at his yard — then I sent 
him a note saying that I should call this evening at half- 
past nine, and politely request him to take back those 
wretched screws and return me my money ; and that if he 
declined, I should first give him a devilish good thrashing, 
and then instruct my solicitors to proceed against him, 
so it's strange he should be out. I don't care twopence 
about the ^500, — thank goodness I can afford it ; but I do 
hate being done, especially over horses. A man looks 
such an ass. Your friends get to hear of it, and then 
they chaff you. They think that because a fellow's jich 



6 "GENTLEMAN JIM." 

he's easily taken in ; that's vvliy they call me the "Golden 
Johnny," confound them. \^ hat a fool I was to trust my 
own judgment. But they were a magnificent pair to look 
at, high steppers and all the rest of it ; to think that they 
should turn out broken winded, spavined, and I don't 
know what. Well, I'll get some satisfaction out of him, 
pecuniary or otherwise, before J leave this room, [looks 
round) Pleasant quarters the blackguard's got here ; 
result of profits made out of flats like myself I expect. 

Miss S. appears at door C, and comes down without 
seeing liim. 

Miss S. I could have declared I heard some [he 

rises and turns round. Slie sees him and exclaims, 
aside) Gentleman Jim ! ! {stands transfixed by chair) 

Jack, [aside) Hullo ! who's this ? The daughter I 
suppose, sent to intercede ; but I'm too tough for that 
sort of game — pretty, though — very — seems embarrassed. 
I don't wonder at it. [aloud) How d'ye do .'' 

Miss S. [hoarsely) What do you want here ? 

Jack. What do I want here ? Come, tliat's rather 
good, [pointedly) Oh, you know ! 

Miss S. [shudders, and drops half fainting into 
chair) Ah ! 

Jack, [aside) By Jove ! She is upset. The cow- 
ardly ruffian ! to send his daughter instead of facing me 
himself; but I'm not gomg to be put off by it. [aloud) 
I say, you know — look here 

Miss S. [coming round ; looks round vacantly , then 
suddenly sees him) Oh ! 

Jack. Of course you know perfectly who J am, and 
why I am here. 

Miss S. {pointedly) Yes. /know. 

Jack. Very well, then, let us discuss the situation 
calmly and quietly, (Miss S. covers her face and leans 
back in chair. Sits at table R. C.) Now, my dear 
young lady, I'm very sorry for you, and — all that sort of 
thing, but I'm not going to leave this house empty-handed. 

Miss S. [shudders again) Oh ! 

Jack. So, come, what have you to propose ? 

Miss S. [gets up with an effort, walks to the table 
timidly, takes off her rings, watch, and other trinkets^ 
places them in a heap on the table and pushes them 
across to him) Take them ! Take all, and go I 



"GENTLEMAN JIM." 7 

jACk. {surprised. Aside) A dodge to work on my 
feelings ; but I'm not to be caught with that sort of chaff. 
{aloud) Oh, come, you know this won't do. 

Miss S. It's — it's all I've got. {suddenly) My 
buckles ! {takes off her shoes and adds them to the heap) 
These — these — are silver, I assure you, they're very small 
ones — I mean the buckles, but they're both hall-marked — 
take them ! 

Jack, {aside) Oh, confound it ! {aland. Takes up 
shoes) I say, you know, I'm not a dealer in cast-off 
clothing, so be kind enough to replace these matters upon 
their proper footing, {returns shoes, which she places 
on her feet) 

Miss S. {suddenly) Of course, it's money you want ? 

Jack. Exactly. 

Miss S. Yes, yes, I forgot ; here's my purse ; three 
pounds, fourteen shillings, and si.xpence halfpenny, two 
stamps and a postal order ; it's all I have in the world ; 
you'll let me keep this little locket, won't you ? It be- 
longed to my mother. Oh, please do ! {clasping her 
hands earnestly) 

Jack, {crosses l. Aside) This is simply play-act- 
ing, {aloud) Now, will you please be sensible. As I 
said before, I regret extremely that you should be placed 
in such an unpleasant position, but I must tell you plainly 
that I am not going to be put off with such ridiculous 
trifles as these {pointing coiiteniptuously to heap on table) 

Miss S. Do — do you want more money ? 

Jack. Of course I do. 

Miss S. {tearfully) But, I assure you I haven't an- 
other penny. 

Jack, {aside) Nonsense, they can't have spent £^00 
in a week, but no matter, {aloud) Now, understand 
me ! Before I leave this house I must either have the 

Miss S. {aghast) Five hundred pounds ! ! 

Jack. Yes, ^500, or I shall be compelled to adopt 
certain measures of an unpeaceful character, which I will 
refrain from particularizing. 

Miss S. (horrified) You — you will commit violence ? 

Jack. I regret to say that I shall consider it necessary ; 
so you see this is my ultimatum. I am in no hurry. 
Please take your time. I will await your decision, {sits 
in armchair L., and takes up newspaper) 



8 "GENTLEMAN JIM."' 

Miss S. (aside) The polished ruffian ! What can I 
do ! If 1 only had the pluck to keep him engaged till 
Martha and her husband come home ! It's my only chance 
of life, for I've nothing more to offer him. I'll be brave 
and do it. Oh, if I could only be as cool as he is ! 

Jack. Come, now, which is it to be, money or assault 
and battery ? 

Miss S. {timidly) I — I don't quite know this minute 
— would — would you mind waiting a little wiiile 1 think it 



over 



Jack. Not the least in the world, {aside) I should 
enjoy it ; she's a very charming little lady, or she would 
be if she were only calmer, {aloud) lam always ready 
for a chat. 

Miss S. A chat ? Oh, yes, of course— delightful ! 
(aside) Oh, what a situation ! 

Jack. Come, won't you sit down ? 

Miss S. {edging round the room to table R.) Th — 
thank you. {sits) 

Jack. By the way, you seem very free and easy with 
locks and bolts in this part of the world. 

Miss S. Indeed ? 

Jack. Yes, I got in here without the slightest difficulty. 

Miss S. Did you ? Do-do you sometimes find it 
difficult to— to get into houses ? 

Jack. Difficult to get into houses ? I used to once. 
{laui:;hs) 

Miss S. Oh : 

Jack. The houses of smart people, I mean ; that was 
when I was a poor devil, without a penny ; but there's 
no difficulty now. {slapping his pocket) I liave that 
which will open every door. 

Miss S. {aside) Of course, a skeleton key ! 

Jack. Why, only last week, I enabled my sister to 
gratify her dearest wish in life, for we made our way into 
that sacred abode, the house of the Duchess of Dover. 

Miss S. What, is your sister also ? 

Jack. Fond of going out ? 

Miss S. No, of getting in. 

Jack. Ha! ha! very good! Same thing, isn't it? 
Oh, yes, she's devoted to it much more than I am ; in 
fact, it begins to bore me. 

Miss S. {quickly) Then, why don't you give it up and 
lead a different life ? 



"GENTLEMAN JIM." 9 

Jack. Well, you see, she keeps me up to it, and I am 
very fond of her ; and she's a dear girl in spite of her 
weakness. 

Miss S. Weakness ! 

Jack.. Yes, after all, you know it's mere harmless 
frivolity. My poor old mother was just as bad. 

Miss S. Your mother ! {aside) What an awful fam- 
ily — all burglars 1 

Jack. Yes, but even now, when every house in London 
is open to' us, my sister is not happy; she is always 
haunted by a dread that I— but, dear me, here am I bor- 
ing you with my private affars, and you a perfect stranger ; 
but it's just like me to blurt out everything. 

Miss S. Pray go on. I like it. {aside) The true 
inwardness of a burglar is horribly fascinating, (aloud) 
What is your sister afraid of? 

Jack. What do you think ? Of course, it's very ab- 
surd, but she's always in mortal dread that I shall one 
day be "caught," as she calls it. 

Miss S. Caught ! Ah, yes, there must always be that 
danger. 

Jack. Quite so ! My sister says that every day she 
expects to see my name in The Morning Post. 

Miss S. {aside) Of course, the police reports, {sud- 
denly) It was in the Pall Mall this evening {timidly), 
but— ah— didn't I see something about you in to-day's 

paper ? 

Jack. {aside) Those confounded papers again. 
{takes sta^e) I know, "Among the guests was Mr. 
'Golden Johnny ' Culverdon." {aloud) Oh, very likely, 
but not in that way. You see, I'm a bit of a lion this 
season ; they've given me a nickname, you know. 

Miss S. Yes, /know, {timidly) G. — J. — 

Jack. G. J.! {aside. Walks to L. "Golden 
Johnny!" Confound it! everybody knows it— such a 
beast of a name, too. {returns. Aloud) But, I say, 
aren't we getting jolly and confidential ; do you know 
I'd almost forgotten what brought me here 1 

Miss S. {quickly) Oh, never mind that, tell me more 
about yourself, {aside) In ten minutes they will be here. 

Jack. But, come now, it's your turn. What do you 
go in for ? All girls do something nowadays, {sees MS.) 
Why, I believe you're a literary lady ! May I look ? 
{takes up MS.) 



lo "GENTLEMAN JIM." 

Miss S. [quickly) No ! no ! {takes it from him. 
Aside) He mustn't read about " Black Bill ; " it would 
hurt his feelings, poor man ! 

Jack. And I believe you are writing a story. 

Miss S. Yes — it is — a tale — a sensational tale. 

Jack. How I should like to see it ! It must be so 
interesting to look at, a shocker in the rough ; come, now, 
tell me what it is about ? 

Miss S. {aside) He might be able to coach me up in 
the details ; I always like to consult an expert, {aloud) 
You are sure you won't mind, you won't be angry if 
there's anything — personal in it .'' 

Jack, Not a bit. 

Miss S. You're quite sure 1 

J.\CK. Certain ; go on. 

Miss S. Well, it's about a — burglar. 

Jack. No ! Really ! a burglar ! that's a capital 
idea. 

Miss S. {aside) He takes it very well, {aloud) Yes, 
a burglar ; and not a nice, gentlemanly, well behaved bur- 
glar like — yo — I mean some of them — but a bold, reck- 
less, ruthless person, with a fur cap, a red handkerchief 
and bloodshot eyes. 

Jack. Ha, that's the kind of one I like, {slappino; his 
leg) the good old-fashioned article ; your money or your 
life, produce-your-spoons-or-I'll-cut-your-throat sort of 
person. 

Miss S. {aside) His ideal ! His hero ! 

Jack. Well, and what did he do } 

Miss S. He came into a baronet's house in the dead 
of night with a {quickly) centre bit, a jemmy, a dark lan- 
tern, a revolver, a crape mask and {tnore slowly) a blood- 
thirsty determination. 

Jack. Plenty of appliances ! 

Miss S. {eagerly) Too many do you think ? Please 
give me your candid opinion, {takes up pencil) I'll cut 
out a few if you think it would make him more realistic. 
Perhaps the crape mask is too much ; are they out of 
fashion now ? You never wear one I suppose ? 

Jack, {surprised) I wear a crape mask ? 

Miss S. Of course not, I ought to have known better, 
but what do you say to the jemmy ? — (}i.o you ever carry a 
jemmy ? 

Jack. My dear young lady, what are you talking 



"GENTLEMAN JIM." ii 

about ? You don't take me for a burglar, do you ? 
{laiigJis) 

Miss S. {laughitig feebly) Oh, yes, that's very good 
— you — {aside) I can't stand jokes — it is too much. 
[aloud earnestly) Oh, please don't be funny, or I shall 
break down — anything but that. 

Jack, {surprised) Anything but what .-^ 

Miss S. Your wit, your pleasantry. I've no doubt it's 
extremely good, but I feel so dreadfully strung up that if 
you try to be humorous I shall snap, I know I shall. 

Jack, (aside) She's candid at all events, {aloud ; 
huffed) Well, then, perhaps I'd better go. 

Miss S. [quickly) Go ! Will you ! Oil, you're jok- 
ing. Will you really go ? How good of you I I'll re- 
member that you spared me, and bless you till my dying 
day. 

Jack, {moodily) Thank ye ! {aside) I've not made 
much impression here, {aloud) Then I'll say good-bye. 

Miss S. {aside) Is he really going ? Can it be true ? 

Jack, {goes up to table at back, L. c, and begins to 
put on his overcoat and gloves) I am afraid the " Golden 
Johnny" has been "done" once more, but remember 
Miss Coper 

Miss S. {aside) Remember, Miscoper ! 

Jack. It is only for a time. Tell your father that 
when next I But no matter. 

Miss S. {aside) My father! — "Golden Johnny" — 
Remember Miscoper — I suppose that's thieves' slang. 
How I should like to know what it means — so useful for 
local color. 

Jack, {at door) Good-evening ! 

Miss S. One moment, — would you mind telling me 
before you go, what is a Miscoper ? {taking out her note- 
book) 

Jack. What is a Miss Coper ? — why you are a Miss 
Coper, aren't you ? 

Miss S. Oh, yes, of course, I understand that — but 
why .'' 

Jack. Why ? Well, because you're your father's 
daughter. 

Miss S. My father's 

Jack. Yes, old Coper the Horse Dealer. 

Miss S. What ! that dreadful old man who lived next 
door? /his daughter? {proudly) I whose father was 

LofC. 



12 "GEXTLEMAX JIM." 

cliief of the Parliamentary Staff of " The Daily Phono- 
graph ' and occasional leader writer, {angrily) Oh, 
this IS unendurable. 

Jack, {aside) By Jove ! I have put my foot in it ! 

Miss S. {sttdde7ily) Then did you come here to see 
this Mr. Coper ? 

Jack. Of course I did. He swindled me over a pair 
of horses and 1 wanted to get back my money, £S'^o. 

Miss S. {eagerly) So that — that was the money you 
said you must have ? 

Jack. Certainly. 

Miss S. {excitedly) Then you're not " Gentleman — " 
I mean a Burgl— I mean a — No matter. Oh, what an 
idiot I've been, {aloud j quickly) Good-evening, good- 
evening, sorry you can't stay ; thank you so very much — 
such a charming evening. Good-bye, good-bye. (s/iakes 
his hand I'iolently) 

Jack. But I say, who did you mistake me for ? I 
should like to know 

Miss S. Of course you would, but I'll tell you some 
other time — to-morrow — the next day — the day after — 
only go — go. {forces hiin up to door^ 

Jack. Then I may call again and apologize for my 
foolish mistake ? 

Miss S. {luildly) Yes, yes ; come often and stay as 
long as you like only go now — I implore you— I beseech 
you. 

Jack. Aii re^wir, then. 

Miss S. {pushes him out of the room, closes door, 
pushes chair against it, then conies down ; hysterically 
and wildly) At last, at last ! Saved — saved ! and by a 
Burglar! {clasps her hands and sinks to the floor in 
centre of stage)
